Four Co, Zn/Cd-containing coordination polymers incorporating the 3,5-bis(1′,2′,4′-triazol-1′-yl) pyridine ligand, namely [Co(fa)2(btap)2] (1), [Zn3(btc)2(btap)4(H2O)2] (2), [Cd3(btc)2(btap)(H2O)6] (3) and [Cd(oa)(btap)] (4), were synthesized by the solvothermal method. Compound 1 featured a two-dimensional (2D) 4-connected framework with the point symbol of (44)(62) topology. The structure of 2 was a 2D (2,3,4)-connected framework with (83)2(85·12)2(8)3 topology. Compound 3 had approximately a planar 2D network with (63) topology. Compound 4 possessed a 4-connected three-dimensional (3D) structure with (126)(12)2 topology. The photoluminescence properties of compounds 3 and 4 have been studied in the solid-state and solvent suspension at ambient temperature as well.
